Cindy Williams<\/strong> will miss her longtime sidekick.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actress, best known for her long-running role alongside Penny Marshall<\/strong> on\u00a0Laverne & Shirley<\/em>, paid a touching public tribute to her late co-star this week after Marshall’s passing<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What an extraordinary loss. My good friend, Penny Marshall is gone\u2014one in a million,” she told Today<\/a><\/em>\u00a0in a statement. “Utterly unique, a truly great talent. And, oh what fun we had! Can’t describe how I’ll miss her.”<\/p>\n

That fun began in the mid-1970s when the two actress originated their iconic roles together on\u00a0Happy Days.\u00a0<\/em>They subsequently scored their own ABC spin-off, which went on to be a great success with several Golden Globe nominations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While Williams left the show during production for what was ultimately the eighth and final season, the women remained “all-time great” friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m there for her whenever she needs me,” Marshall said in an interview<\/a>. “You have a history with each other. It’s like family…It’s very unique. She’s like a witness to my life,” Williams added of their relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Marshall passed away\u00a0“peacefully”<\/a> on Monday night at her Hollywood Hills home following complications from diabetes. The multi-talented star was 75 years old. “Our family is heartbroken over the passing of Penny Marshall,” a spokesperson for the star’s family told E! News in a statement.<\/p>\n

Many more celebrity tributes poured out<\/a> online on Tuesday, including one from Marshall’s\u00a0Big<\/em> star,\u00a0Tom Hanks<\/a><\/strong>. “Goodbye, Penny. Man, did we laugh a lot!” the actor tweeted. “Wish we still could. Love you. Hanx.”<\/p>\n
